Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 My primary care physician thinks I have rosacea and exzema because I get flushed when I see her. I have been diagnosed as having moderate acne vulgaris when I was 26. I have been able to control it through birth control pills and using retin-A 0.1%. The side effect of the retin-A is redness. But since last October, my acne seems to be coming back. In addition to this I have developed dry, scaley skin which are like red patches underneath around my earlobes, hair line, chin, bridge of my nose). I thought it was just acne vulgaris and seborrheic dermatitis. Has anyone been as confused by their skin as I am? Have anyone ever had more than one skin condition at the same time? Anyway, I am laying off the retin-A to see if the redness subsides (which is already going away since I have stopped using it two days ago).
